Risk Measure Click for details


Types of risk:

Investing in Stock Risk

The value of the Fund's portfolio may be affected by changes in the stock markets.

Growth Investing Risk

If a growth company's earnings or stock price fails to increase as anticipated, or if its business plans do not produce the expected results, its securities may decline sharply.

Value Investing Risk

Value investing entails the risk that if the market does not recognize that the securities selected by the Fund are undervalued, the prices of those securities might not appreciate as anticipated.

Foreign Investing Risk

Foreign securities are subject to special risks. Foreign issuers are usually not subject to the same accounting and disclosure requirements that U.S. companies are subject to, which may make it difficult for the Fund to evaluate a foreign company's operations or financial condition.

Small-and Mid-Sized Company Risk

Small- and mid-sized companies may be either established or newer companies, including companies that have been in operations for less than three years. While smaller companies offer greater opportunities for gain, they also involve greater risk of loss.

*State Farm now only offers Class A shares for investments in the State Farm College Savings Plan; however, if you own Class B shares, you can still view expense and performance data on sf.com.

Investment return and principal value will fluctuate and your investment, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than its original cost. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Recent performance may be less than the figures shown.

The maximum sales charge is 5.50% for Class A shares for The State Farm College Savings Plan Model Portfolios. Performance for Class B shares will differ from Class A shares due to differences in sales charge structure and class expenses. B share returns include reinvestment of distributions, changes in net asset value and the effect of the contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) which declines from 5.00% in the first year to 0% at the beginning of the seventh year. NAV Total Return does not reflect the deduction of the sales charge.

The plan may charge administrative service fees and assess sales charges. These are in addition to the investment management fees and other expenses associated with the underlying investments.

Beginning on February 27, 2012, Class B Units are no longer being offered by the Plan. Any Contributions for Class B Units received by the Program Manager on and after this date will automatically be directed to Class A Units.

Risk Disclosures


Before investing, consider the investment objectives, risks, fees and expenses associated with The State Farm College Savings Plan before investing. Contact State Farm VP Management Corp (1-800-447-4930) for an Enrollment Handbook and Participation Agreement containing this and other information. Read it carefully.

An investor should consider, before investing, whether the investor’s or designated beneficiary’s home state offers any state tax or other benefits that are only available for investments in such state’s qualified tuition program.

Investing involves risk, including potential for loss.

Asset Allocation and diversification do not assure a profit or protect against loss.

Enrollment Based Portfolios are similar to target date funds in that their investment objectives are adjusted over time to be more conservative as their target date (date the investor plans to start withdrawing funds) approaches. The principal value of the fund(s) is not guaranteed at any time, including at the target date.

The stocks of small companies are more volatile than the stocks of larger, more established companies.

Foreign investments involve greater risks than U.S. investments, including political and economic risks and the risk of currency fluctuations.

Neither State Farm nor its agents provide investment, tax, or legal advice.

Additional Disclosures

State Farm College Savings Plan (529)

Earnings must be used to pay for qualified higher education expenses to be federally tax free. The earnings portion of a non qualified withdrawal will be subject to ordinary income tax at the recipient’s marginal rate and subject to a 10% penalty. State Farm does not provide tax advice. Please consult your tax advisor for specific information about your tax situation, including any state tax consequences of an investment. The availability of such tax or other benefits may be conditioned on meeting certain requirements.

A $70,000 gift is viewed as an accelerated gift over five years. Any other gifts to the same beneficiary by the contributor in that tax year or in any of the succeeding four years may result in a federal gift-tax liability. If the contributor dies within the five-year period, a prorated portion of the contribution may be included in his or her taxable estate.

Contributions can be made until the value or total amount of contributions across all Nebraska program accounts for the beneficiary reaches $360,000. Accounts in excess of this limit can continue to grow through investment earnings realized by the plan, but no additional contributions can be accepted above that limit. This limit is set by the Nebraska State Treasurer and is subject to change.

The plan is intended to operate as a qualified tuition program, pursuant to section 529 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code.

Participation in the plan does not guarantee that contributions and the investment earnings, if any, will be adequate to cover future tuition and other higher education expenses, or that a beneficiary will be admitted to or permitted to continue to attend an eligible educational institution.

This material is not an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities. Any offer to sell shares within the plan may only be made by the Enrollment Handbook and Participation Agreement relating to the plan.

Neither the State of Nebraska, the Trust, the Nebraska State Treasurer, the Nebraska Investment Council, First National Bank of Omaha, Oppenheimer nor State Farm, nor any of their respective affiliates, directors, officers or agents shall have any debt or obligation to any contributor, any beneficiary or any other person as a result of the establishment of the plan, nor will these entities assume any risk or liability for mutual funds in which the plan invests.

The State Farm College Savings Plan is subject to enrollment, maintenance, administrative and management fees and expenses.

Investors in the plan do not hold shares of the underlying funds directly, but rather shares in a portfolio of the plan.

The State Farm College Savings Plan (the “plan”) is sponsored by the State of Nebraska and administered by the Nebraska State Treasurer. The plan is established in cooperation with State Farm VP Management Corp. (“State Farm”), the State of Nebraska, and OFI Private Investments Inc. (OFIPI), a subsidiary of OppenheimerFunds, Inc, pursuant to which State Farm offers classes of shares in a series of accounts within the Nebraska Educational Savings Plan Trust (the “Trust” and plan issuer) that are distributed by OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc. (OFDI and together with OFIPI, “Oppenheimer”). The Trust offers other accounts that are not affiliated with the plan.

The Nebraska State Treasurer serves as trustee of the plan; OFIPI serves as the investment manager, with the oversight of the Nebraska Investment Council; and servicing agent: OFDI serves as the distributor: First National Bank of Omaha serves as the program manager.

The State Farm College Savings Plan is not insured or guaranteed by State Farm, Oppenheimer, First National Bank of Omaha, the Trust, the State of Nebraska, the Nebraska State Treasurer, the Nebraska Investment Council, any of their respective affiliates, directors, officers or agents or any other entity.
